    Any Will RogersDon't squat with your spurs on.Good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment.Lettin' the cat outta the bag is a whole lot easier 'n puttin' it back in.If you're riding' ahead of the herd, take a look back every now and then to make sure it's still there.If you get to thinkin' you're a person of some influence, try orderin' somebody else's dog around.After eating an entire bull, a mountain lion felt so good he started roarin'. He kept it up until a huntercame along and shot him...The moral: When you know you're full of bull, keep your mouth shut.Never kick a cow chip on a hot day.There's two theories to arguing with a woman. Neither one works.If you find yourself in a hole, the first thing to do is stop digging.Never slap a man who's chewin' tobacco.It don't take a genius to spot a goat in a flock of sheep.Always drink upstream from the herd.When you give a lesson in meanness to a critter or a person don't be surprised if they learn their lesson.When you're throwin' your weight around, be ready to have it thrown around by somebody else.The quickest way to double your money is to fold it over and put it back in your pocket.Never miss a good chance to shut up.There are three kinds of men. The ones that learn by readin'. The few who learn by observation. Therest of them have to pee on the electric fence for themselves.

    It is so simple to be wise. Just think of something stupid to say and then don't say it. --Sam LevensoThe first step to wisdom is silence. The second is listening.--author unknown
    Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen. Ephesians 4:29 bsebast@airmail.net

    A few of my favorites:If at first you don't succeed, to hell with it!If you can't do the time, don't do the crime!If you think you're indispensible, put your foot in a bucket of water, then pull it out. The hole that's left will be the measure of how much you'll be missed.(High School football coach, 1953)Mudge

    Most anything by Churchill, Franklin, Jefferson. But not published publicly: (a) "Don't understand why any man would tie a rope around his own neck, no matter how pretty it is" & (b) "No one ever argues with a 12 gauge or .45" Quoted by father, attributed to grandfather.

    I sent this to my father on the occasion of his 75th birthday. From Mark Twain:"When I left home at 14, my father was the dumbest man I knew. When I returned at 21 I was amazed to see how much the old man had learned in 7 years."

    These are all great, a persons got to appreciate these.Will Rogers undoubtedly, had the best sense of humor.A lot of truth to the others, makes a man really contemplate on the brevity of life and whether he has learned anything from living it.I going to save all these when the list peters out.

    Well from an unreconstructed Yankee who has taken great delight in tormenting this forum's supporters of the losers of the "War of Southern Stupidity" I have to say that throughout my life I've tried(sometimes unsuccessfully)to live up to the wisdom of the following quote: "Duty is the most sublime word in the English language. Do your duty in all things. You can never do more; you should never wish to do less." Robert E. LeeSo now all you rebels out there know that this Yankee has been guided by the words of your leader.
